27 Oct 2004 | | Journal: | Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc. 357 (2005) 449-460 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Abstract: | We present the optical identifications of a 95 micron ISOPHOT sample in the Lockman Hole over an area of about half square degree. The catalogue (Rodighiero et al. 2003) includes 36 sources, making up a complete flux-limited sample for fluxes > 100 mJy. Reliable sources were detected, with decreasing but well-controlled completeness, down to 20 mJy. We have combined mid-IR and radio catalogues in this area to identify the potential optical counterparts of the far-IR sources. We found 14 radio and 13 15 micron associations, 10 of which have both associations. For the 11 sources with spectroscopic redshift, we have performed a spectrophotometric analysis of the observed Spectral Energy Distributions. Four of these 95 micron sources have been classified as faint IR galaxies (L_FIR<1.e11 solar luminosity), six as LIRGs and only one ULIRG. We have discussed the redshift distribution of these objects, comparing our results with evolutionary model predictions 95 and 175 micron. Given their moderate distances (the bulk of the closest spectroscopically identified objects lying at z<0.2), their luminosities and star formation rates (median value 10 solar masses/yr), the sources unveiled by ISOPHOT at 95 micron seem to correspond to the low redshift (z<0.3) FIRBACK 175 micron population, composed of dusty, star-forming galaxies with moderate star formation rates. We computed and compared different SFR estimators, and found that the SF derived from the bolometric IR luminosity is well correlated with that computed from the radio and mid-IR fluxes. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0410667 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
